Gratuitous: So this was an intentional loophole too?  I'm getting
tired of them, much more fun to exploit the unintentional sort.

Rule 106 reads:

      If the option selected by Agora on this decision is ADOPTED,
      then the proposal is adopted, and unless other rules prevent it
      from taking effect, its power is set to the minimum of four and
      its adoption index, and then it takes effect.  It does not
      otherwise take effect.

This clearly separates the increase of power and the actual taking of
effect.  Even if the failed proposal took effect, its power was zero,
so it was not an instrument; therefore, Rule 105's

      Where permitted by other rules, an instrument generally can,
      as part of its effect,

does not apply, and

      This rule provides the only mechanism by which rules can be
      created, modified, or destroyed, or by which an entity can
      become a rule or cease to be a rule.

does.  The proposal took effect but was unauthorized to make any Rule
Changes so did nothing.
